    Re: Ilford Printing Paper Costs Blowout.

    it seems that Ilford wants to mimic Kodak about price policy: one 120 roll of HP5 or FP4 jumped from 7€ to 8.5€ in less than one year. What's going on in their heads?

    Hello, does anyone used T-Max developer with Fomapan films? I heard of good results with Fomapan 200; I'd like to know if somebody used it with Fompan 100 and 400 and may share his experience.

  6. Re: Have any of you downgraded from 8x10 to 4x5? Why?

    Hello Serge, you said it right. It's not (only) how big the negative is, there is more than that.
    I do like the proportion of 4x5 / 8x10 (and 6x7), for portrait work it gives a sort of focusing...

    Re: Favorite Lens

    I like the 150mm for landscape and for portrait work; I like its neutral prospective. If I have to go for one lens only, I'd go for it without doubt.

  8. Re: Have any of you downgraded from 8x10 to 4x5? Why?

    Hello,

    I use both formats for different projects and for different reasons.
    Honestly, I would downgrade to 4x5 if I didn't have something specific to do with 8x10; it is so much lighter and less...

    You made a good choice with the Chamonix. I own the 45N-2, well built, beautiful and plenty of movements. If I could swap it with another camera I probably would go for the 45H-1 because...
  10. Re: What Dilution HC-110 Do You Recommend for 4x5 HP5 Portraits? What's The Capacity?

    Hello Daniel,

    This is what works for me with HP5 exposed at iso 400: 1+47 for 9.5'
    Usually I don't make adjustment in high contrast scenes since this film is quite soft in contrast, while I make...

    Great summary Tim,

  13. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    That's a good tip, Koraks. Thank you. What about flipping the film one side to the other to refresh the chemicals on the bottom side of the sheet? Do you flip it or just keep it one side up all the...

    Re: Ortho film

    Yes and I like it very much. Unfortunately quite expensive so switched to X-Ray film (which is anyhow a pain to handle and to not to scratch the double-sided emulsion).

    Re: HP5+ Processing and EI

    I like and I use HP5 but it lacks contrast in my opinion which can be good or bad, depending on your taste.
    I love instead FP4 which has a better contrast and handle the high lights better,...

    Re: Portraits from 2022

    Very beautiful.
    Did you use D76 for processing the film? It's not easy to have extended tones with x-ray.
  29. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    That was one option. Metol is at around 34€ for 100gr (I bet in US is way more cheaper). It will give around 26 sessions of 1 liter working solution in 1+1 diluition.
  30. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    The problem with D76 is that Kodak raised the price dramatically. It was 4€ for the to make-1l powder few years ago, now it is around 8€...
    And I really like D76 over HC110.
  31. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    Thank you. I found a good way of avoiding scratches by using the cibachrome rotary drum. The point is, agitation is continuous. I'd try to increase the dilution to 1+79 and eventually to lower the...

    Thank you, so, as a starting point:
    Diluiton E (1+47, which is the one I use the most for many film types)
    20° or 22°C for how long? (12'-10' ?)
    Do you expose it at 100 iso or lower?
